RESULTS

 

Ø  Encouraging

Ø  Unpredictable

Ø  Sporadic miraculous results

Ø  Unfortunately, it's impossible beforehand to give any prognosis and forecasts about the treatment outcomes with precise accuracy as in every case the patient's dynamics is very individual and depends on number of factors.

Ø  Any references/testimonials further we request you to understand the science and don’t be carried by testimonials as these can be generated fake
